How do I get cat hair off my clothes when I wash them?

I have 2 long haired cats and they get hair everywhere, including on all of my clothes. But even when i wash my clothes, the hair doesn't come off. Is there a trick to get the hair to come off in the washer or dryer??

I have two kitties, one black and one white, so I'm doomed, everything I wear shows hair, lol.



First, embrace the fact that you are going to have some hair on your clothes, and just say, "love me, love my cats"



On the clothes that show a lot of hair, use a sticky lint brush to remove the hair before washing (before you take it off, brush the item quickly, takes a few seconds)



Make sure you keep your dirty clothes in a place where the kitties don't go to keep as much hair off as possible.



Increase the amount of times you vacuum and sweep, and don't forget to vacuum your furniture.



Keep kitties clean, by grooming them regularly. I brush mine regularly and it really helps.



When you put something on, check it quickly for cat hair and give it a quick once over with the lint brush. I keep one in my closet on a shelf, and another by the back door.



These things will cut it down a lot, but not entirely.

It should be coming off in the washer and then definitely the dryer. I would recommend in investing in a lint brush. Should take care of the problem. Also, be sure to brush your cats often to avoid excess shedding.

Adding to Terri--



I also run my bedspread and any other quilt/blanket they use in the dryer on "air" a time or two BEFORE I wash it-- and any other time I think it's loaded with hair.



I brush both my cats daily-- and I guess it helps.....



good luck
